Li Chunfang is the oldest of the "Four Phases of Green Words", and he can be described as a late bloomer.

Although he was only 20 years old, he failed to win the list after five examinations, and he did not win the championship until he was nearly 40 years old. If he hadn't been born as a champion and had taken the fast track of Qingzi, he would have been released because of his age.

Although he has been on the list five times to temper his character, years of studying the Four Books and Five Classics have made him even more pedantic, and he will inevitably be prejudiced against "top-notch" young people like Lin Haoran.

Li Chunfang accepted the judgment that the news was true, but still found a reason and said: "In this way, the saint remembered that he had made meritorious contributions to ambergris incense in the past, so he was promoted to the Yin of Shuntian Mansion!" ”

In just one sentence, Lin Haoran's promotion was attributed to "flattery". It is because Lin Haoran has meritorious service in offering ambergris in the past, not the so-called appointment of talents, and this promotion has nothing to do with Lin Haoran's personal ability.

Guo Pu knew that Li Chunfang was suspected of "smearing" Lin Haoran, although he knew that this was probably not the case, but he had no intention of correcting it.

The news just came, in addition to Lin Haoran's promotion to the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, there was also the punishment that Liu Ji offered white lingzhi but was ordered to "stay idle" by the saint.

As for Liu Ji's punishment, it is obviously inconsistent with the style of the saint. Rather than why Lin Haoran was promoted to Shuntian Mansion Yin, it is better to study why Liu Ji was condemned by the saint?

Guo Pu didn't have any intention of having a heart-to-heart with Li Chunfang, a potential opponent, but nodded slightly and agreed: "Hmm! Now Guangdong City has hundreds of thousands of taels of income every year, which is also an indelible achievement, so the saint has every reason to promote Lin Wenkui. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the capital is too far away from Guangdong, this official really wants to go over and take a look, Lin Haoran's achievements are really incredible and incredible!" Li Chunfang revealed her heart and said with questioning.

"Huh...... In fact, this official also wants to take a look at Guangdong, not to mention that it is too far away! Guo Pu pretended to smile and respond, naturally hoping that by fanning the flames, Li Chunfang and Lin Haoran could fight.

It's just that he understands very well in his heart that Li Chunfang is an extremely shrewd person, but he can't show this motive too obviously, otherwise he will be seen by the other party.

After slightly arousing Li Chunfang's anger, he followed Li Chunfang to talk about personnel issues.

Things are a bit ridiculous, Guo Pu and Li Chunfang obviously came to power through "flattery", but at the moment they are seriously studying and promoting the imperial court's "appointment of talents and energy".

After chatting for a while, Li Chunfang seemed full of energy, and planned to return to the duty room like a program, and immediately bid farewell to Li Chunfang.

Guo Pu looked at the back of Li Chunfang leaving, but his emotions were still stuck on what happened just now.

He knew very well that this subordinate official, like many officials in the capital, was skeptical of the report card of Guangdong Kaihai handed over by Lin Haoran, but he underestimated this Lin Wenkui, who was six yuan in a row.

However, he knew better than anyone else that if anyone continued to despise this Lin Wenkui, he would definitely suffer a big loss. Now that Lin Wenkui is in charge of Shuntian Mansion Yin, I'm afraid that few people will be able to suppress him.

Although I don't understand why the Holy Lord ordered Liu Ji to sit idle, so that this kid could get the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin, it has now become an established fact. Even if he is a heavenly official, he has to pay attention to this Lin Wenkui.

At least in the list of potential competitors, he already needs to add Lin Wenkui's name, which is even more tricky than Wu Shan.

There is no Yi Palace, the first auxiliary duty room, there is no trace of sandalwood here.

Yan Song, who was wearing a python robe, was like a conscientious old farmer, and he was bowing his head in front of the desk, and the ticket was about to be stacked neatly in five parts, but the snow-white and slender brows were frowned.

In the past, the recitals he voted for were usually approved, but the five recitals that he voted for the local embankment were sent back by the saint and were placed on his case.

He speculated about Jiajing for more than 30 years, and naturally knew that the saint wanted to give a money-saving plan like before, instead of spending a large amount of silver taels to build the river embankment.

It's just that he is eighty-three years old this year, and he is already physically and mentally exhausted, and he is beginning to be afraid.

If these embankments are not built at a high cost, then this year's summer flood will not only be a flood in the seven southeastern provinces, but the entire south will become an ocean.

He decided to persevere, trying to impress the Holy Lord, so that the Holy Lord could no longer use the money for the construction of the Sanqing Taoist Temple and the altar, but should cut back on food and clothing, and spend the money on water conservancy projects.

"Grandpa, Liu Ji is really finished!"

Yan Hong walked in from the outside and walked in excitedly.

Yan Song was concentrating on preparing a note, but he didn't know if he hadn't heard Yan Hong's words, or insisted on handling the work at hand, and his eyes fell on the note.

His thin hand held a wolf pen, and wrote down a line of words seriously: "The Changzhou embankment has been in disrepair for more than five years, and the river embankment has been full of holes after being verified by Zhang Wei, the imperial history of Nanzhili, and there are three serious gaps, so the household department pulled out 40,000 taels of silver for construction." ”

Yan Hong watched his grandfather in the ticket, but he stopped talking. It's just that he came to his side, looked at the content of the ticket, frowned slightly, and looked at his grandfather worriedly.

Although he didn't know how to deal with government affairs, he always felt that his grandfather was in a bad situation now, and he couldn't insist so much, and he should follow the saint's intentions and continue to get by with the matter of the river embankment.

"What's going on?" Yan Song put the note on the note, handed the pen to the attendant beside him, looked up and found that the eldest grandson had come to his side, so he asked Yan Hong.

Yan Hong was caught off guard by the question, his face was slightly stunned, and then he said matter-of-factly: "Grandpa, Liu Ji was ordered by the Holy Lord to stay idle at home, and Lin Haoran took over as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion. ”

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!" When Yan Song heard the news, there was a rare surprise on his face, but he immediately sighed and sighed.

Everything was so sudden, a junior who had always been outside of power, was suddenly pushed to the front of the stage by the saint and became the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the third grade.

Officialdom never looks at the position, but at the person's comprehensive strength and potential. Like Wu Peng and Guo Pu, it is difficult for the former to move forward, while the latter has the opportunity to be the first assistant.

is also the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, Liu Ji is more confident than Huang Zhongda, but Lin Haoran is more confident than anyone else in this position, and is already at the top of the third-grade officials.

In the face of this Lin Wenkui, who is rising like a rocket, even if he is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, he must pay attention to it slightly.

"Grandpa, what kind of treasure did you say Lin Wenkui gave in exchange for today's result?" Yan Hong added tea to Yan Song, and at the same time asked very seriously.

After meeting Lin Haoran last time, he also inquired about Lin Haoran's situation after arriving at Wanshou Palace through an internal line. Although he found out that Lin Haoran met the emperor in the name of offering treasures, he didn't know what kind of treasure Lin Haoran offered, and it is still a mystery.

It was Huang Jin who was present at the time, and the other little eunuchs couldn't look at it at all. Although Huang Jin is amiable to everyone, it is difficult to get something from his mouth.

Besides, who can pry the mouth of the head of the East Factory?
